What a wonderful ending. I was trying to figure out who Severus had owled and it was Hannah. My favorite part was when Across the Anvil became visible and how it became visible. Of all the people JKR killed off, I think I regret losing Severus the most. His story is so tragic. I wish he could've found a little bit of happiness. Great chapter.

I'm feeling bad for Neville but I'm going to feel even worse if he marries Hermione when they don't love each other. Marrying Neville seemed like an easy solution at the time but it's a decision that's going to last the rest of their lives. I'm sitting here going "Do something before it's too late. Neville will get over it." Great chapter.

I chuckled so many times during this chapter, especially when Severus said he wanted to show Hermione the house and she thought she didn’t want a house tour but a shag. I smiled knowingly when Severus said she’d marry him and she said she’d be marrying Neville. I have no doubts as to who Hermione is going to marry. This was so delightful. I have other stories of yours earmarked on another website to read and I’ll probably reread most of these stories over there too. Great chapter.

I so love watching Snape. Heck, I'll marry the guy if Hermione doesn't want him:D I thought of the spider seducing the fly when he told Neville "trust me." I chuckled when he went to the dance and danced with all of the other witches--and they all had nice things to say about his dancing. This is such a wonderful story.

Oh poor Neville--he doesn't stand a chance. If he loves "Abby" why is he with Hermione? I'm sure Severus will tell us. I'm with Hermione--I want to know why--more importantly, why now. I hope Severus gets the girl but why after all these years? Great chapter, as always.

I thought Neville was her fiance from your description of his "round face." :D Who is Hermione trying to fool? Indeed, who is Snape trying to fool? I loved that her lipstick matched her knickers--but no one would see. She didn't count on Severus being in her room. I can't wait to hear his explanation for coming to her right before her wedding. Great chapter. I feel like I've been absent for a few days--sometimes my job or home life gets in the way of my reading. Damn it all, anyway:P

Excellent chapter! Both parties involved seem to be in conflict. It is a shame, for Neville, who could quite possibly, be the odd man out.Severus and Hermione need to sort out their priorities before moving on in their lives. Like the reference to Kenny Rogers' song 'The Gambler', by Snape.I'm not a poker player, but I recognized the song lyric immediatly. ;0)
